4x C3 Master Superheavy + Friends
« on: 21 January 2025, 20:37:48 »
Since I don't know of a unit with 4 C3 Masters on it it seemed appropriate to equip that much expensive hardware on a Superheavy Tripod.
But what to give it to fill out those 9 Slave slots?
The obvious answer: MORE TRIPODS!
With their power combined Orca and its lesser versions have 11 Gauss Rifles, 12 ERPPCs, an Arrow IV (with Nukes preferably), and 200 Extended Long Range Missile Tubes

Every turn...

Behold the horror

Huh, didnt realize nothing had 4 c3M yet.  Its worthwhile for that alone.

Base 5 enjoyers like wolf dragoons could link up a binary with the 4 c3m and 9 friends.  Also could work for fidelis, I feel like they didnt fight like smoke jags when part of the republic--but im real shaky on fidelis fluff.

I don't know why it never occurred to me that using units with multiple masters is a way to get around the C3 bv multiplier just a tiny bit
Guns may be a right, but kneecaps are a privilege.

had a thought of doing something similar with C3i but I don't think that would work like normal C3 systems.
